Overview

Welcome to Ani x Para World! Our program highlights the unique attractions of para-sports, with the help of Japan's top animators. Episode 9 takes a look at boccia, sometimes referred to as "curling on the ground." This inclusive sport can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or experience. Today's anime shows how para-sports can bring people together, and help us overcome any difference. In the studio, we're joined remotely by a Japanese national boccia team player who has his sights set on gold at this summer's Tokyo Paralympics.
